Como Si Fuera Un Niño

As If I Were a Child

Let me place my lips
On your ermine skin
Don't deny me the softness
Of your royal hair

Oh, let me fall asleep
As if I were a child
In your burning embrace
Like a spring

I don't love the flesh in you
I love the feeling in you
I love your naive being like a pure fountain
I love the sweetness of your harmonious accent
And the immense sadness of your dark gaze

Welcome me in your arms and delicately
With your rose hands caress my forehead
And tell me in a whisper that your first illusion
Has been me and then
My love, my spring
Oh, let me fall asleep today
In your ermine bosom
And lull me with kisses as if I were a child
